It’s not babying your children to help them get established in life or a career.
Not only is it a smart investment but it is the right thing to do.
It also help ensure that they won’t rebound right back into your home when they are in their 30s and can’t take care of themselves and their families.
You are exactly correct. It’s a smart investment. You are basically investing in your late-life caretakers.
Everything you do now to help them out will be paid back with interest in the love and care they will provide to you when you need it most later.
Don’t wait to give it to them when you die. Give them what they need to build a successful life while you are still here.
I appreciate that perspective.
But isn’t it our job to raise our children to take care of themselves while minors, then send them out into the world? Paying their way thru college, seems to be simply prolonging the “raising the child” stage.
It also seems completely unfair to a child that wants to work out of High School. Would you pay that same child the same amount of money you would pay another child to go thru college?
